Enter   74eo7fxi4v

Use that code to go into the BIOS.

Disable all passwords that are enabled.

If asked for the CURRENT password use that code.

If asked for NEW password just hit enter.

If asked to VERIFY password just hit enter.

Save and exit.

That worked.  Thank you very much.

Can I ask HOW you came up with that? What are you guys using to decipher the error code.

Just wondering.

Thanks again.
